OH, where will I go if dis war breaks de country up, And de darkeys hab to scatter around? Dia dam Bobolition, 'mancipation, and Secession, Am a-gwine to run de nigger in de groun'd I For it's Abolition here, and Secession dere, And neither one or t'other of 'em right ; One says dis, and de other says dat, And dey both got de country in a fight. Chorus. Now what can a poor nigger do, etc. Now what is de use of dis jangulatin' fightin' ? Botheration to de country so forlorn ! Why don't dey 'tend to business, makin' boats and buildin' railroads, While de niggers raise de cottcto and de com ? But Massachusetts here, and South Carolina dere, Disturb dis happy Union wid deir growls ; One says dey shall, and de other says dey shan't, And Uncle Sam has got to stand it all. So what can a poor nigger do, etc. 1* 6 NOTHING TO "WEAR. i Oh, I wish .dat de white folks of dis great Confederation Would only quit deir quarrels and deir fights ; And stop deir cannonadin', marchin', shootin', and bom- bardin', Anti be willin' for to use each other right : For it is very plain to see dat de end of'it would be, Dat they'd- know each other better dan before ; _ And they'd make up deir minds dat in all future times * Dey wouldn't go and do it any more. And dat's what I want 'em for to do, etc. What a deuced shame it is dis Secession revolution Am. a-usin' up de business of de land ! While trade and navigation, merchandise and speculation, Hab very nearly comp to a stand. De crops won't be growed, de meadows won't be mowed, 'Kase dere's nobody left for to tend 'em; , Dere's a scarcity, it seems, of cabbage, peas, and beans, 'Kase dere's nobody home for to send 'em. Now what's a hungry nigger gwine to do, etc. NOTHING TO WEAR, Sung by ARCHY HUGHES. EARLY in the morning, as I was promenading Through the streets of Brooklyn city fair, I met a youthful maiden, her heart with sorrow laden, Because she discovered she had nothing to wear. Bonnets she had plenty, and shawls could count by twenty, Still her refrain, as she walked the city fair, Was i am tired of this duster, it puts me in a fluster It's really too provoking I've nothing to wearl" Chorus I am tired of this duster, etc. Silks, and satin flounces, hoops of all dimensions, Had this dame of Brooklyn city fair ; Still, the fashion changing, her wardrobe disarranging, She cried, in despair, "I have nothing fit to wearl" AURA LEA. Bonnets she had plenty, and shawls could count by t Still her refrain, as she walked the city fair, Was " I am tired of this duster, it puts me in a flustei - It's really too provoking I've nothing to wear!" . I am tired of this duster, etc. Dear papa, complaining, says there is no restraining The extravagance in dress of his Wilhelmina fair ; And then she'd coax and flatter, and ask him how LJS daughter Could promenade the streets with nothing fit to wear! Bonnets she had plenty, and shawls could count by twenty, Still her refrain, as she walked the city fair, Was " I am tired of this duster, it puts me in a fluster It's really too provoking I've nothing to wearl" I am 'tired of this duster, etc. AUSA LEA, Sang by J. A. HERMAN. * WHEN the blackbird, in the spring, On the willow-tree Sat and rocked, I heard him sing Singing, " Aura Lea, Aura Lea, Aura Lea, Maid of golden hair, Sunshine came along with thee, And swallows in the 1 air." Chorus Aura Lea, Aura Lea, Maid of golden hair, Sunshine came along with thee, And swallows in the air. In thy blush the rose was born ; Music, when you spake ; Through thine azure^eye the morn Sparkling seemed to break. WAIT TILL YOU GET IT. Aura Lea, Aura Lea, ' Birds of crimson wing Never song have sung to me As in that sweet spring. Aura Lea, Aura Lea, etc. Aura Lea ! the birds may flee ; The willow's golden hair Swing through winter fitfully On the stormy air : Yet, if thy blue eyes I see, Gloom will soon depart; For to me, sweet Aura Lea . Is sunshine through the heart. Aura Lea, Aura Lea, etc. WAIT TILL YOU GET IT, Sung by. 8. 8. FCTBDT. OF late, around town, a new by-word's come out Tou'uhear it wherever you wander about : Ask a friend for to lend you two dollars or three, And the answer he'll give you it surely will be " Just wait till you get it, "Wait till you get it ; And if you don't get it, Wait till you do!" Election-time is coming a candidate runs To the sturap, which he mounts, firing off his big guns 'Mong the boys of the ward his money he'll spend free Saying, " 1 must have the office." The answer will be- " Just wait till you get it," etc. A fellow gets drafted he vows it's too much; He ain't got "three hundred" goes in for a crutch, SAUCY SAM. 9 Saying, "I must have exemption, you see that I'm lame ;" But the keen provost-marshal is up to his game, And says, "Wait till you get it," etc. A fellow at policy goes it quite strong, In hopes a big hit will some tune come along; Spends all his spare change, till he cleans himself out, ''Cause the man with the slips says, " You'll hit 'em, no doubt Only wait till you get it, Wait till you get it ; And if you don't get it, "Wait till you do 1" SAUCT SAM, Sung by J. T. BOYOS. I AM saucy Sam, a Southern nig, as you can plainly I was born among de sugar-cane, 'way down in Tennessee ; My master used to wallop me, so I cut my stick and ran ; De soldiers dey cotch hold ob me and make me contraband. Chorus. Oh, yes, white folks, just listen unto me I'se de sauciest little nigger ever lived in Tennessee. If I was de President, I'd take a bold position I'd play de very deuce wid dat nigger abolition; I'd make Secession hold Its jaw, and 'mancipation too, And I'd make 'em cry out " Union !" as Washington used to do. Oh, yes, white folks, etc. ~N I don't like to see folks in de Norf cut such foolish figures, And get our country in dis fuss all about de niggers ; I don't like abolitionists, to please a foolish whim, Shove poor white folks out of work, and Dut de niggers in. Oh, yes, white folks, etc. 10 THE NIGGER MAY APPLY. I don't like to see some folks, when they've 1 been here lots of years, When de country wants their aid, tremble wid their fears. Dey ought to shoulder a musket, and join de regiment, Instead of asking help from de British government. Oh, yes, white folks, etc. I would like to see de white folks of dis great and glorious nation, And leave de niggers whar dey is, down on de old plan- t tation; And shake each other by de hand and, wid deir Ipud huzzas, Cry, "Constitution as it is, and Union as it was!" Oh, yes, white folks, etc. THE NIGGER MAY APPLY, "Written and sung by W. 8. BITDWORTH. WHITE folks, your attention, and I'll do my best to please, And sing a song about de times, while you all take your ease: And while I am a-singin', I don't think you'll denj- That for a seat in de Senate-house de mokes will soon apply. So fare you well, my honey dear I I'll see you by-and-by; I'm goin' to be a general, whar de niggers do apply. ' We don't work in de cotton^elds nor dig potatoes now, For de father of de BJack Brigade is kickin' up a row ; He is editor of a paper, but now he's keeping shy ; But in his next edition you'll see that niggers may apply. Don't you look so awful dark you needn't heave a sigh, For Horace says things are all right, and niggers may apply. I think de best thing mokes can do, is to join de Black Brigade, And go to fight for de Tribune, deir colored rights, to save : THE CONTRABAND'S ADVENTURES. 11 But if dey fail, I'll tell you what, I think dey'd better fly, For, when de war is over, no niggers need apply. But I think I am all right if I only mind my eye, I'll get command of de Potomac when de niggers do apply. THE CONTRABAND'S ADVENTURES. Sung by S. S. PUBDT. OH, my name is Darkey Sam, I'se a black- eyed contraband Down on de Chickahominy I was born ; , But old massa run away When de Linkum sogers play, So I started for do Norf in de morn. I soon met wid a man, And he took me by de hand, And brought me to de bobolition meeting : Dere de broders made a speech, And de sisters 'gan to preach ; Dey said my complexion was light, And de world dey would teach What a point dey could reach, And show dey could wash a nigger white. Dey got me very soon, And dey put me in a room Dis nigger couldn't tell what dey was arter ; Dey took off all my clothes, And den what does you suppose ? Dey put me in a tub of boilin' water ! And den dey got around, And some scrubbm'-brushes found, And said dey'd wash me whiter dan paper. Oh, dey got me in a tub, And dey all began to scrub I tell you it was a pretty sight I For some put on de soap, And de oders dey did rub, But dey found dey couldn't wash a nigger white. 12 LOUY NAP. De next ting dey done, For to make de color run, Dey began to rub me wid sand-paper: Oh, dey nearly killed me dead, But dey only made me red I tell you I cut up an awful caper ! Den dey whitewashed me so slick, , /But de lime it wouldn't stick I golly, I was just as black as ever ! Den dey got a lot of hay, And dey rubbed and scrubbed away '/Dh, dey kept at it all dat night; And den dey found, next day, Dat de job it wouldn't pay, 'Kase dey neber could wash de nigger white. When I found dat dey was tired, Says I, " Gemmen, list to me, And you will find out dat I am right, man ; De nigger will be nigger Till de day ob jubilee, For he neber was intended for a white man. Den ju4t skedaddle home Leave de colored man alone, For you're only makin' trouble in de nation : You may fight, and you may muss, You may make a iieap of fuss, But you neber will make tings right Until you all agree For to let de nigger be, For you'll neber, neber, neber wash him white.' LOUY NAP, Sung by LEW BEIMMKB. LOUY NAP is trying, 'Way down in Mexico, TV) build another empire up, But Uncle Sam says, "No!" GINGER JIM'S UNION COCKADE. 13 Napoleon he may try it, And show his lack of sense, ^ But soon he will be gobbled up By his Oyster-eating Prince. Chorus. Rip rap, flip flap, Jump right up and break your back I For I'm going down to Mexico, To fight for Uucle Sam-u-e-L "We'll let you alone for a little while, For your race is nearly run ; But you can't give thrones in Mexico No, nary time, not one 1 So take advice, friend Louy, Keep away from Mexico ; For the doctrine that we'll carry out "Was taught us by James Monroe. Rip rap, flip flap, etc. The Russian Czar sent a fleet Out here to Yankee-land, And nobly we have welcomed them "With open heart and hand. A firm alliance is our plan We'd make a bully pair, With the Yankee-doodle Eagle And the rugged Russian Bear ! Rip rap, flip flap, etc. GINGER JIM'S UNION COCKADE. Sung by S. S. PFEDT. I'll just from old K-y, Ky, And my name is Ginger Jim ; I goes in for de Union, 'Cause dat am bound to win. 14 4 GINGER JIM'S UNION COCKADE. I went down to Uncle Gabriel's Before I came away, And dese am just de very words Dat Uncle G-abriel did say : Choms. "Shout, boys, shout, and don't you be afraid To sport de feathers in your hat, de Union cockade.' Dere's trouble in de country, And war throughout de land ; And de times are coming When everybody's got to show his hand. If you go in for Secession, You had better mind your eye, For "Union" am de word, my boys It's now de battle-cry. Shout, boys, etc. Dis war commenced at Sumter, And dey gib de Union beans ; But soon dey had de Stars and Stripes To wave ober New Orleans ; For since de fight at Pittsburg, It's goin' such a way, Dat Union's bound to win, my boys, No matter what you say. Shout, boys, etc. Dere's a bird dey call de eagle, And soon he'll flap his wings, While ober Hail-Columbia land Our Union chorus rings; While Norf an' Souf, and East an' West, Our good old flag shall wave, And de thing dey call Secession Will be buried in its grave. Shout, boys, shout, and don't you be afraid To sport de feathers in your hat, de Union cockade. HANNIBAL WRAY. * 15 HANNIBAL WRAY, Sung by S. S. PUEDT. OH, listen to my song, and, as it goes along. I'll tell you freely what I think 'bout what is right; And if you like my lay, why, all I've got to say Is, give me a chance to speak ray mind in my own pecu- liar way. Chorus. For I'm bound to have my say, In my own peculiar way; And whether you like it, or whether you don't, Is de same to Hannibal Wray. Oh, I have to wonder why de white folks often try By hook or by crook, or some oder way, to come it on de sl y; _ But it's very plain to me, if dey'd let us darkeys be, 'Twould be better for both of us, de slave as well as de free. For I'm bound, etc. Now down in "Washington is whar de trouble begun, And de politicians are all to blame yes, ebery mother's sou! And de only way to do is to hire another crew, To man de ropes of de ship of state, and carry her safely through. For I'm bound, etc. Oh, I long to gee once more de good ole days of yore, When de niggers was happy de white folks too de coun- try o'er and o'erl * And I hope it soon wih 1 be dat do white folks will agree, And de smoke of de war will blow away dat's what's de matter wid me !

In Seventeen Hundred and Seventy-six, there was a brave hero The name of that great General was WASHINGTON, you know; ZOUAVE JOHNNY FHOM BULL RUN.

COME all you soldiers, so fearless and brave, Come h>ten to my ditty ; For I belong to the Fire Zouaves, That started from New Ydrk city. We left our families and all our friends To save the Union I shouldered my gun ; And what I tell you I know is so, For I'm Zouave Johnny from Bull Run. That good old man, brave General Scott, Has retired from the army ; And General McClellan then took his place. Although the times- looked stormy. 2* 18 THE LOWER TEN THOUSAND.

S. PTJRDY. I JUST come from de Souf to St. Louis to- day, Whar a nigger, dey tell me, can just "have his own way; I don't stop at de Planter's House, but a much better place, "Whar de people dey all seem quite enchanted wid my face ; And de ladies, in particular, say I'm Cupid, don't you see ? And de white folks of St. Louis am quite struck after me. I really begins to think dat I've got a handsome face, And dis form it is possessed of symmetry and grace : Dere are niggers from de West and dere are niggers from de Souf, And you all know a nigger's got a bery little mouf ! But dere's one thing I observe in particular wid me Dat de white folks of St. Louis am quite struck after me. But dis gay and easy life is not suitable for me, For I was raised a nigger, and a nigger still must be ; So, white folks, let me tell you, before I do depart, Don't let de cause of niggers so encircle round your heart : We are ever four millions now in numbers, don't you see ? And what could you do wid all of us, if we were all set free? HOBAOE GBEELEY'S PET, Snug by S. S. PURDY. COME, all you noble white folks, And listen to my song ; I'm de pet of Horace Greeley, And to de Tribune I belong.

I will back George McClellan, And de grumblers all put out ; Also dem British subjects, I would send 'em up to spout. On, I am, etc. Now, when de foreign nations Hear our Yankee rooster crow, Johnny Bull may den leave Canada, His friends leave Mexico; While Peace and Plenty dey shall reign Throughout dis mighty land, And politics be laid aside At Liberty's command. Oh, I am, etc. ARCHY AT THE SANITARY FAIR, Sung by ABCHY HUGHES. Two weeks ago I left Vermont, To come to this big town, Where the Sanitary Fab Is doing things up brown ; I arrived in Brooklyn one fine morn, And soon put on my best And round to the Academy I went, As a member of the press. Chorus Then come, darkeys all, Unto these sights so rare, For Archy now is all the go, Since he's been to the Sanitary Fair.

Ward Beecher took me by the arm, And spoke in gentle tones, To condescend and please the " Heights" With a solo on the bones. Then come, darkeys, etc. I spread myself upon the stage Without much hesitation ; Since racihg soon will be the rage* I played " The InVitation." The New York Club soon made their bets,| I hadn't much to say ; The odds were on the bob-tailed nag, For nowhere was the bay. Then come, darkeys,' etc. I left the Academy that night, And packed my trunk in haste, And started off to Washington, For Gideon Welles's race. Say^I to him, " Old boy, wake up! For racing do not clamor ; But send your fast boat Eutaw out, And patch the Alabama." Then come, darkeys, etc. SAMBO'S OPINION. Sung by S. S. PUEDT. .

Chows Get back, get back, Take it with a whack ! Now, dere is General Burnside, Commanding, I believe ; And de next thing dat we hear of him, Why, Burnside he is relieved. Dey say he is a fighter, And can whip them with a whack ; And as soon as he has done dat, Dey will say to him, "Get back!" Get back, etc. Now, I've been on to "Washington, To make a proposition ; To go in for de Union Ain't nigger abolition.

Written and sung by TV. S. BTTDWOBTH. THESE are exciting times, and that you all do know Our,, flag has been insulted and trod on by the foe ; But they had better all njind their eye, Or we'll make the rebels scatter, And drive them all into the sea That's what's the matter. Chorus. Take up. your musket, and go along with me ; Take up your musket, and go along with me! Shoulder up your musket, and we'll make the rebels scat- ter! I'm for^the Union that's what's the matter. England's got too much to say about our civil war She had better keep, her tongue still, before she goes to war; For we have whipped her twice already. And we beat her at regatta ; And we can whip her once more That's what's the matter. 32 POLICY JOE. France is keeping neutral, to see what will be done ; If Johnny gets in a muss, I golly, you'll see fun 1 For with privateers we'll swarm the seas, His commerce we will scatter ; And Napoleon will help us That's what's the matter. POLICY JOE. " Written and sung by "W. S. BUDWORTH. I'LL sing you a song of a nice young man, His name was Policy Joe ; His father was a rag-merchant, Over in Policy Row. Joe travelled on his muscle, And sold rags by the pound ; And whenever he made a hit, He made the policy sound. But when this cruel war came on, The old man had to "bust;" And Joe had spent his last cent. Playing for forty-first. Says he, "Bea "Wood and policy Have got the best of me ; So I'll go and jump a bounty, And have a little spree." Joe went and put his name down, And got three hundred " slums," And then skedaddled and ran away - Says he, " I'll have some fun." So Joe went into business, And opened a big gin-mill; But he "busted" all up in a week, For the bar-kseper ran off with the till ! Next day Joe picked up a countryman, And lived on him a while, THE BLACK BRIGADE. 33 But got to playing policy again, And lost the last of his pile. So now poor Joe was dead broke, And wanted another start; So a fellow gave him a situation As clerk of a city ash-cart. THE BLACK BRIGADE, Written and sung by W. S. BUD WORTH. UNCLE ABRAHAM he wants us now, And we must march along; And I tell you what it is", my boy, "We will muster mighty strong. Then fare you well, my honey dear, I don't want you to be afraid; In three months your lov-u-er Will bea captain in de Black Brigade. Chorus In three months, etc. And when we meet de enemy, I'll bet we'll make them stare, For I know dey'll catch de very debil When dey meet our woolly hair.

In three months, etc. In de days ob General Washington, You know we fought de British well, Behind de bales of " hickory ;" I tell you we made dem red-coats yell !

Jimmy, farewell, etc. Now in my provisions I see him revealed They have grafted him into the army ; A picket beside the contented field, ' They have grafted him into the army. He' looks kinder sifckish begins to cry A big volun-teer standing right in his eye : Oh, what if the ducky should up and die, Now they've grafted him into the army ? Jimmy, farewell, etc. THE LEARNED MAN, T Sung by G. W. GRIFFIN. OH, since the days I've prattled o'er The born-book and the battledore, What musty heaps I've rattled o'er, And yet I've scarce begun ! But, with all due volubility, I'll tell you with facility, And wondrous agility, I've studied, if I can : THE LEARNED MAN. And if my views do any fit, I'll toll you in a trice How you'll derive great benefit By taking my advice. First, shake off all timidity, Apply with due solidity, Eschewing every quiddity, To be a learned man! Commence with etymology, Go next into geology, . Your head filled with phrenology, Although it be a van ; Go next to botanology, And physical theology,' Observing strict philology, If you would lead the van. But mix up no lampoonery In what yon say or do, Nor let no vile buffoonery E'er emanate from you. If you touch on the majestical, Celestial, or terrestrial. Let it not be catethestical To be a leaVned man ! If you display chirography In any one's biography, Look well to your geography Time and dates well scan; Antediluvian history, Mythology's the mystery, Theology, consistency, To know next be your plan: And if past mediocrity In wisdom you would soar, Go on with all alacrity And search for further lore. Go next to hotfinolo-ry, Give a gluiice at mineralogy, 51 SNOW. And ditto at astrology, To be a learned man ! Learn alchemy by particles, Therapeutics by articles, Pharmacy, cathartical Or emetical, if you can. And there's yet a multiplicity Of etceteras electricity, Computation with facility Of which I haven't ran ; Architecture, and zoolography, And dioptrics, you must learn ; From cosmography to topography And mechanism turn ; Forms of government, theocracy, And this one, termed democracy, Not forgetting Honocracy, To be a learned man ! UNCLE SNOW, \ As performed by ARCHT HUGHES. On, my name is Uncle Snow, And Id have you all to know Dat whitewashing is my occupation ; If you have any work to do, * I will do it as well for you As any oder nigger hi dis nation. Chorus. Oh, oh, oh! don't you hear me now? Wid dat brush, I can beat out all creation I I'm goin' on to Washington, to get a job, you know, To whitewash all de black deeds of dis nation. When I get to Washington, / There will much work have to be done In ancient cleanliness to be removin' ; THE YANKEE QUILTING-PAETT. 53 For de dirty work, I swear, Dat has long been goin' on dere, Has bery nearly brought dis place to ruin. Oh, oh, oh, etc. "When I first came to dis town, Some twenty years ago, I was 'a gay and dashin' little feller; But as I older grew, I saved a dime or two, And set up whitewash business in a cellar. Oh, oh, oh, etc. Oh, dere's one thing more I'd say, . Before I go away, * And dat's about de colored population: If dey had only left 'em alone, In deir good old darkey home, It would have been better for dis great and glorious nation. Oh, oh, oh, etc. THE YANKEE QUILTING-PABTY, Sung by ARCHY HUGHES. IT was down at Major Parsons' house, The gals they had a quilting, Just for to show their handsome looks, And have a little jilting. There was Deacon Jones's daughter Sal, And Squire Wheeler's Mary ; And General Carter's youngest gal, That looked just like a fairy. Chorus. Then Yankee lasses all the u- Niversal airth bewitching; The good and true, and handsome too, The parlor or the kitchen. 5* 64 THE YANKEE QUlI/TINOKPAKTr. . There was Lucy White and Martha Brown, And Jackson's daughter Betty; Jemima Pinkhorn, Prudence Short, And Major Downing's Hetty. But if there was a handsome gal That would make a fellow feel right, I guess it was, by all accounts, Miss Carolina Cartwright. Then Yankee lasses, etc. As they were whirling of the plate, And playing- hunt tlfe slipper, Jerusha Parsons went to get Some cider in a pitcher; But just as she had left the room, And got into .the entry, She gave a scream,' and stood stock still, Just like a frozen sentry ! Then Yankee lasses, etc. i ' "We all run out and there, I swow, Both huggin' like creation, Miss Cartwright and Sam Jones we saw A-kissing like tarnation ! Oh, such a laugh as we set up, You never heard a finer ; Says I, "I reckon kissing's cheap Don't you, Miss Carolina?" Then Yankee lasses, etc. You ought to see Miss Cartwright blush ! She looked as if she'd paiuted ; She said she had the colic, And in Samuel's arms had fainted. Now, all young gals, a word with you : When you go to a frolic, % Don't let your fellers kiss and hug Unless you've got the colic. Then Yankee lasses, etc. AS SLOW OUR SHIP. AS SLOW OUR SHIP. > Sung by J. A. HEKHAN. AS slow our ship her foamy track Against the wind was cleaving Her trembling pennant still looked back To that dear isle 'twas leaving. So loth we part from all we love, From all the links that bind us, So turn our hearts, where'er we rove, To those we've left behind us. When round the bowl of vanished years, We talk with joyous seeming. And smiles, that might as well be tears, So faint, so sad their beaming, ^ While mem'ry brings us back again Each early tie that twined us, Oh ! sweet's the cup that circles then To those we've left behind us. \ And when in other climes we meet, Some isle or vale enchanting, Where all looks flow'ry, wild, and sweet, And naught but love is wanting _ We think how great had been our bliss, If Heaven had but assigned us To live and die in scenes like this, With some we've left behind us. As travellers oft look back, at eve. When eastward darkly going, To gaze upon that light they leave, Still faint behind them glowing So when the close of pleasure's day To gloom hath near consigned us, We turn to catch one fading ray Of joy that's left behind us.

As often at the close of day With Louie Lee T fain would stray, And while the pleasant hours away, Beside the purling brook 'Twas there we'd bide at eventide, And. watch the golden sunbeams glide, . As to their gilde,d couch they hied, Receding while *we'd look. Chorus Louie Lee ! I sigh for thee, Though wandering here alone; There's naught now left to comfort me I'm coming, coming home ! A$y heart would beat in numbers sweet Whene'er we'd talk, whene'er we'd meet, And hours flew by on wings so fleet, The time seemed never long: She promised, with a gentle smile, My cares of life she would beguile, And make me happy all the while, By sweet affection's song. Louie Lee, etc. The wedding-day, for which I'd pray, Impatient at its long delay. For time with me seemed doomed to stay, My anxious heart was given: At length it came, but not for me, For Be^th had wooed my Louie Lee Far in a brighter wtrld they flee, To wed her soul in heaven.

I AM lonely to-night in my sad little chamber, While the stars sweetly shine upon all I hold ^ear; They have gone from their home with a bold, fearless ranger There's a void in my heart, for they are not here. Oh, why d'id they leave me, alone and deserted, To risk their dear lives on the blood-sprinkled plain? UNCLE SAM GRANT. 69 Should they never return, this poor heart would soon wither, And never know joy or comfort again. Chorus. I am lonely to-night, I am lonely to-night, While the stars sweetly shine upon all I hold dear ; I am lonely, I am lonely to-night. I am lonely to-night, but ere spring-birds shall warble Their matinal song in the wild forest-tree, And the bright, limpid brook with sweet music shall bubble .My heart will grow lighter when thinking of thee. Then fleet by, dull hours, and bring back the loved ones, Who parted from friends With a tear- moistened eye ; For then this sad heart will no longer be lonely, But joyous and happy as the mild azure sky. I am lonely to-night, etc. UNCLE SAM GRANT, Performed, with shouts of laughter and applause, by Hooley's Min- strels. I SUPPOSE you have heard of the great commander He's second to none but Alexander; TJ. S. Gr.'s the man for me, Three cheers for your Uncle Sam ! He's come from the West, with the spangled banner A mud-sill, and his trade a tanner ; Good-by, Chase 1 you'll lose the race, He can distance Abraham I Chorus. U stands for Uncle, U. S. for Uncle Sam,' But U. S. G-. it just suits me, or any other man! He dug a trench at Vicksburg: as sure as you're alive, He'll dig one more round the White-House door in 1865. 70 YOUNG KITTY. At Donelson, 'mid the wintry weather, He gave them a smell of Yankee leather; There Floyd and Pillow caught a fanning Their rebel hides weren't worth the tanning, U stands for Uncle, etc. Grant marched his men, worn and dejaded, To Vicksburg, where he was blockaded ; He dug a canal none dare dispute him The river would not rise to suit him. U stands for Uncle, etc. Round the town Grant did assemble, The Butternuts did quake and tremble ! Then Pemberton's Rebs did surrender To Grant, the Union's brave defender. U stands for Uncle, etc. At Chattanooga, Bragg did face him, Little thinking Grant would lace him ; He's packed in the vat where Grant will soak him- There let him lay may the tan-bark choke him ! U stands for Uncle, etc. Here's a health to the pet of the Yankee nation, The next overseer of Sam's plantation ; Three cheers for GRANT and his men together, And nine for his sole and upper leather ! U stands for Uncle, etc. YOUNG KITTY, WHEN daylight was yet sleeping under the billow, And stars in the heavens still lingering shone, Young Kitty, all blushing, rose up from her pillow, The last time she e'er was to press it alone. For the youth whom she treasured her heart and her soul in, Had promised to link the last tie before noon ; And, when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen, . The maiden herself will steal after it soon 1 LTJLA IS GONE. ^ 71 LULA IS GONE, Sung by J. A. HERMAN. WITH a heart forsaken I wander, In silence, in grief, and alone ; On a form departed I ponder, For Lula, sweet Lula, is gone' Gone where the roses have faded, Gone where the meadows 'are bare, To a land by orange-blossoms shaded, . Where summer ever lingers on the air. Chorus. Lula, Lula, Lula is gone I With summer birds her bright smiles To sunny lands have flown. When day breaketh gladly, My heart waketh sadly, For Lula, Lula is gone I' Not a voice awakens the mountains, No gladness returns with the dawn ; Not a smile is mirrored in the fountains For Lula, sweet Lula is gone ! Day is bereft of its pleasures, Night of its beautiful dreams; While the dirge of well-remembered measures Is murmured by the ripple oa the streams. Lula, Lula, Lula is gone, etc. When I view the chill-blighted bowers, And roaming o'er the snow-covered plain, How I long for spring's budding flowers To welcome her sweet smiles again 1 Why does the earth seem forsaken? . Time will this sadness remove : At her voice the meadows will awaken To verdure, sweet melody, and love I Lula, Lula, Lula is gone,, etc. 72 THE VACANT CHAIR. THE VACANT CHAIE, Sung by G. A. PARKERSON. WE shall meet, but we shall miss him, There will be one vacant chair; "We shall linger to caress him While we breathe our evening prayer. When, a year ago, we gathered, Joy was in his mild blue eye ; But a golden chord is severed, And our hopes in ruin lie. Chorus-We shall meet, etc. At our fireside, sad and lonely, Often will the bosom swell At remembrance of the story How ou.r noble Willie fell ! How he strove to bear our banner Through the thickest of the fight, And upheld our country's honor , In the strength of manhood's might I We shall meet, etc. True, they tell us wreaths of glory Evermore will deck his brow ; But this soothes the anguish only, Sweeping o'er our heart-strings now. Sleep to-day, early fallen, In thy green and narrow bed ! Dirges from the pine and cypress Mingle with the tears we shed. We shall meet, etc. THB BND.
